A husband of a pregnant influencer has died from his injuries suffered in a car crash, his family has confirmed.
On Wednesday December 20, Utah married couple, Chloe and Parker Stott, were heading to Arizona to tell their family some very big news.
The pair had discovered that Chloe, who was the CEO and founder of Clove Skin Bar in Lindon, Utah, was pregnant and were excited about the future ahead.
Unfortunately, the pair got into a head on crash on Highway 93 near Wickenburg, Maricopa County, that saw the influencer Chloe and her unborn child die at the scene.

Parker was airlifted to the Arizona Burn Center in a critical condition and required multiple surgeries.
His family have since confirmed that on the day before Christmas Eve, he too has died.
"He's the strongest person and has fought so hard. At 6.47pm, Parker grew his angel wings to fly him to Heaven to be with his sweet love Chloe and their baby," his family said in a touching tribute.
They also gave an update on the surgeries he underwent before passing away, according to the MailOnline.
On a social media account run by his family, they wrote: “Early this morning, Parker went in for his third surgery to do some clean up on his burns, as well as start on some skin grafting for his leg.
“At the completion of the surgery, the surgeons delivered the news that Parker's injuries were even more extensive than what we were already aware of and the outlook was extremely bleak.
“A few hours later, we received the update that Parker's vitals were dropping and he was going fast. We gather around him as a family, kissed him, hugged him, held his hand, told him just how much we loved him and how proud we were of him.”
After the crash, a GoFundMe page was set up to help the couple's family during this difficult time.
“The purpose of the GoFundMe is to provide the necessary financial support for a young family whose lives changed in the blink of an eye. Medical bills, financial support and funeral services among many other reasons. Any support and prayers for this family will make a difference,” the page explained.
Over $200,000 has so far been raised from over 4,000 individuals making donations.
